Your first semester of freshman year in college can be a tough time with a lot of transition. I know no better person to describe the first of semester of college than the Queen of quirky herself, Jessica Day from one of my favorite shows "New Girl."

1. When your parents leave after move in day and you realize you're all alone.

2. When you are in that awkward period when you barely know your roommates.

3. When you are asked constant fun facts about yourself during the first few weeks.

4. When you walk into your first freshman class and it is a huge lecture hall with 700 other people.

5. ...But you realize the beauty of the curve.

6. When you see your bill for textbooks for the first time.

7. When your first syllabus week is over and you have to do real work now.

8. When you discover how much you need naps to function.

9. When you have no idea how to study for your first midterms.

10. When you told yourself you would go to the gym five times a week, eat healthy and be super involved but you realize it's week six of the semester and you have done none of those things.

11. When you go home for the first time and see your old friends and hear stories about all of their new friends.

12. When you start to realize how broke you are.

13. When finals week is over and the semester is over before you know it and it's already Christmas Break.
